Tubing question (soft) want to be sure its plasticizer free

hey all, 

i currently have my rig water cooled and LOVE IT. specs of my rig are in my sig.  right now im using PrimoFlex Advanced LRT tubing. i bought it along side my other parts (rad and blocks) from performance pcs well i thought i would get it in a retail box but instead it came wrapped in clear cling wrap. so im not sure if i was really given the  Primoflex advanced or the Pro.   for those who don't know, pro is the older tubing they made but had Plasticizer issues. with the new tubing, it was fixed. well my tubing looks clean when i look at it, but i've noticed that i have some build up no my video card block which looks like Plasticizer. also have some crap in the fin away of my cpu block.  

 

i was going to just get the same  tubing but was worried that i will run into the same issues again or if its was just because i didnt flush the water blocks and tubing before building the rig ( i flushed the rads with very hot distilled water) so the crap stuck in the cpu fins could just be some stuff that i missed in the rads.

 

i hear Tygon is good but not sure which one to get theres a few different SKU's.  or should i not worry and just get the advanced LRT tubing another try?

My LRT Advanced (from a roll) also turned cloudy in 6 months with de-ionized water.

It looks like this is just chalk... I'd strip it down and clean it with water/ vinegar (that's how I clean all my parts) and put it back together again.

If I remember right the commonly used plasticizer free Tygon was 2075 (been a while since I ordered so may be wrong).

Edit: Googled quickly an it looks like 2475 is the newest version in that product line.

If you can get the Tygon tubing get it. The Tygon tubing that is plastersizer free all start with A in the serial number like this one.
